My Irish Kitchen Table

Eunice Power brings new energy to everyday cooking with her debut cookbook.

The kitchen table is at the centre of Irish life – a place we gather in good times and bad, to find comfort, nourishment and good conversation. In her first cookbook, culinary powerhouse Eunice Power celebrates that space and the role of food in it. From easy fruit crumbles to relaxed midweek meals, and ceremonial family feasts for that special occasion, the recipes in My Irish Kitchen Table reflect the rhythms of real life. Whether it’s the first rhubarb cake of spring, a bowl of homemade soup on a busy workday, a loaf of bread baked for a friend or brunch shared with a crowd, Eunice’s dishes give the home cook confidence, expand their repertoire and bring new energy into everyday cooking. A well-known figure on the Irish food scene and raised on a traditional farm in Dungarvan, Eunice is the owner of the award-winning andchips takeaway, and she also runs a bespoke catering business that has catered for some of the country’s most exclusive events and venues over twenty-five years. This may be her first book but it is one you’ll turn to for years to come.

Here’s a selection of the mouth watering recipes featured in this issue to whet your appetite.
